He had collected a total of three items from that assassin. One was an interspatial ring, one was an exceptionally sharp dagger, and one was a box of Shadow Dust.
Shadow Dust was indeed a good item. It could allow one to enter a state of invisibility in a short period of time. To an assassin, this was equivalent to having an extra life.
That dagger was a fine steel dagger. It was even sharper than the dagger he had obtained from those assassins a few days ago.
What Su Han cared about the most was the thing inside the interspatial ring.
After opening it, Su Han discovered that there were more than ten gold coins inside. These gold coins were the hard currency of this continent. No matter which race it was, the value of gold was irreplaceable.
Besides the gold coins, Su Han also found more than twenty magic nuclei of various sizes, and all of them were rank-2 magic nuclei.
“I’ve struck it rich!” Su Han was very happy. Compared to the gold coins, these magic nuclei were obviously more important to him.
Besides that, Su Han also found a small bottle.
That bottle was filled with poison. He could instantly make the grass and trees shrivel up. It could be said that the poison was fierce.
“Maybe I can use it in the future.” Su Han also put it away.
After doing all this, Su Han sat on the bed and began to absorb the magic nuclei.
It was not until evening that Su Han completely absorbed the dozen or so rank-2 magic nuclei. When he opened his eyes, he could clearly feel that his spiritual power had become denser.
He opened the attribute panel.

His spiritual power had reached 4,200 points. As long as it reached 5,000 points, he would reach the threshold of a tier-1 mage.
At that time, the power of his magic would further increase.
At night, Su Yu’er ran back and pushed the door open.
“Ice and fire mage, I’m back.”
Su Han shook his head. “Why didn’t you obediently accompany Aunt Motor?”
Su Yu’er sat on the bed and threw her two shoes on the ground, squeezing Su Han inside.
“If I don’t look at you, you’ll do something stupid again.”
Su Han said, “I think what I did was right.”
Su Yu’er said, “It has nothing to do with rightness.”
Su Yu’er said sadly, “But what if you’re killed? Isn’t it good for us to live a normal life?”
Su Han said, “You saw what happened that day. The people of Leilou City didn’t do anything. The village chief only knows how to express his stance. The woman named Vivian doesn’t care about the people in the village at all. If I don’t make a move, the next ones to die will be the two of us.”
They lived outside the village.
After a long while, Su Yu’er sighed. She knew her brother’s character and the things he decided. Even a few cows could not pull him back.
“What are your plans?” she asked.
Su Han thought for a moment, looked at the faint moonlight, and said, “I want to go into the mountains.”
“You want to find the Divine Treasure too?” Su Yu’er said sadly.
Su Han shook his head and said, “I want to increase my strength as soon as possible. After I become a tier-1 mage, we will move into the town. As for the Divine Treasure they mentioned, you know that I’m only thirteen years old!”
Su Yu’er smiled and said, “You don’t have any truth in your mouth. Your curiosity is so great that you will definitely join in and lose your little life.”
Su Han said, “Don’t curse me.”
Su Yu’er said, “I’m not cursing you, brother. They won’t be able to find the Divine Treasure, and neither will you. That’s because there’s no Divine Treasure there.”
Su Han said in surprise, “Xiao Yu’er, do you know something?”
Su Yu’er said, “I don’t know anything, but I know that you won’t give up. If you really want to go, go to the place where you and Father met Yu’er back then. I’m going to sleep.”
Su Han still wanted to ask something, but he could already hear the sound of breathing coming from beside him.
At that time, he was seven years old. It was the first time he went hunting with his father in the mountains. They rescued a girl from the mouth of a wolf. Her name was Su Yu’er.
His father was very happy. He drank a lot that day because he did not have to worry that his son would not be able to find a wife in the future.
Then, he died.
…
The next morning, Su Han had just woken up. When he came to the village, he saw rows and rows of soldiers in fine steel armor lined up neatly in the village. In front of the gate of the village chief’s house, there were two fully armored knights who were guarding the gate.
The dignified and murderous soldiers immediately subdued the people in the village. The people who had lived in the mountains all their lives had never seen a powerful human army.
The mage girl who was already very familiar with Su Han explained, “These soldiers are elites from the Third Legion of Leilou City. On the day when Lady Vivian was attacked, we sent people to Leilou City to ask for help. They finally arrived.”
“The Third Legion is very famous in Leilou City. Decades ago, this legion played a huge role in the war against the orcs. His Majesty the Emperor once personally awarded this legion with a Medal of Honor.”
“If they arrive, Lady Vivian’s safety will be guaranteed.”
The ranger girl sighed. “It’s a pity. I was waiting outside for the whole night yesterday, but I didn’t see that mysterious person. I’m afraid I won’t be able to see him again in the future.”
Su Han subconsciously touched his nose.
